For Attorneys:
For Washington attorneys facing a legal issue involving an animal, please feel free to contact the CPLD for information or research. In particular, the CPLD is eager to write appellate briefs either on behalf of a party or as amicus curiae for interesting and important cases involving the legal status of animals, local or national animal cruelty statutes, the First Amendment, and many other issues. Please see the Publications tab for previously submitted briefs.
